$3 million #RFP from our Student Upward Mobility Initiative! Seeking bold, innovative #R&D that explores which skills in late HS drive upward mobility & the ways in which those are developed and can be measured in middle-to-HS. #edusky #econsky #psychsky #academicsky studentupwardmobility.urban.org

📣📣📣The Student Upward Mobility Initiative's RFP will be launched later this month. Sign up for our webinar to learn more: www.urban.org/events/stude...

Because students receiving #SNAP or #Medicaid automatically qualify for free #school meals, changes to both social safety net programs outlined in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act could impact access for millions of students across the US. Explore the analysis completed by Urban Institute experts.

Thrilled to present actionable recommendations for governors to ensure their students graduate ready for success as part of the #LetsGetReady Roadmap #NGASummerMeeting. Check out the guide from our Student Upward Mobility Initiative! urbn.is/SUMIBrief

Love to see Gov. Polis highlighting our new Education-to-Workforce Framework Data tool! apps.urban.org/features/edu...

Hey #edusky and #econsky - the Education Data Portal has been updated with IPEDS fall data collection, CCD, CRDC (through 20), and SAIPE through 2023. Have at it and know further updates to CRDC and IPEDS are forthcoming! educationdata.urban.org/documentatio...

Following along in Colorado. Partly because these policy actions emanated from a technical advisory group Emily Gutierrez and I led last year and partly because the state must continue grappling with the uncertainty of TCJA-esque extensions and a potential change in the CEP threshold.

It was incredibly energizing to get the Student Upward Mobility Initiative’s first cohort + friends together in DC! Follow along as we learn from researchers, field leaders, and practitioners on our blog www.tfaforms.com/4644066/?tfa...

Good news! We've heard from @usedgov.bsky.social that it is a technical difficulty and should be restored soon! We'll keep monitoring. bsky.app/profile/chin...

We previously downloaded the 2021-22 data and are working to get them added to the Portal as soon as possible.

We’re trying to figure out if this reflects a decision by @usedgov.bsky.social or is a mistake that will be corrected. In the meantime (and always), CRDC data through 2020-21 are available from the Education Data Portal: educationdata.urban.org/documentation/

My team at @urbaninstitute.bsky.social just flagged for me that Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) files for all years are no longer available for download from ocrdata.ed.gov/data:

So glad to see @urbaninstitute.bsky.social's demographically adjusted #NAEP scores in this great state dashboard! Love to get data into the hands of policymakers! s/o to @chingos.bsky.social and @kblagg.bsky.social for delivering these adjusted scores so fast! watershed-advisors.com/resources/na...

Notwithstanding culture war distractions, “the biggest issue facing U.S. public schools will remain fiscal.” www.the74million.org/article/as-s...

Demographically adjusted 2024 NAEP scores, hot off the presses! www.urban.org/research/pub...

It doesn’t snow much in #Atlanta but when it does, we make it count!

Tim Sass leaves behind an indelible impact on metro Atlanta #students through changed policies, and the #econofed field is better for his integrity and work. He also made a true difference in my career for which I will always be grateful. Cheers 🍻 to Tim! news.gsu.edu/2024/12/10/n...

Congrats to the new Urban Institute Employees Union and all its members!! ⬇️

GA passed a $6,500/student/year voucher this year for tuition, tutoring, some transportation, or occupational, speech, behavioral, or physical therapy. Up to 1% of the state education formula (QBE) can be spent. Newly issued program rules got me interested but I’m left with more ?s.

Excited to announce the first grants from the Student Upward Mobility Initiative! $3.5 million will support 16 projects that connect PK-12 measures to long-term success or develop new measures of skills that drive economic mobility. A quick overview🧵 studentupwardmobility.urban.org/student-upwa...

In typical #AEFP2024 fashion, I got to spend my whole flight talking to a dear friend @tgoldring.bsky.social. Can’t wait to see more of you tomorrow. Even if we haven’t met, feel free to grab my attention to talk about the Student Upward Mobility Initiative RFP! studentupwardmobility.urban.org

I'm excited to share the initiative my team at Urban Institute has been developing for 2+ years! The Student Upward Mobility Initiative will catalyze a new generation of R&D on PK-12 skills/competencies that drive economic mobility. 1st RFP (due 4/30) opens today! studentupwardmobility.urban.org

I wasn’t sure this puppy had any other emotion than pure joy. It turns out she also has saddest face in the world when she doesn’t get to be part of webinars.

Can we bring this back now that there's a more robust group of edpolicy folks on here?

Very happy to share WorkRise's 2023 grantees!! Exciting projects on things like domestic workers voice, employee ownership to promote Black income and wealth, warehouse work and labor mobility, strategic labor enforcement, and more! Check it out: www.workrisenetwork.org/workrise-awa...

Always a good citizen in @toddrjones.bsky.social ⬇️

Reintroducing myself with a shiny new job at the Urban Institute. After 5 amazing years building the GA Policy Labs, I'm off to build new education initiatives with @chingos.bsky.social and team! See y'all at APPAM in Atlanta this week where you'll find me as Director of Program Development.

Check out five amazing years of work in the Georgia Policy Labs Impact Report new.express.adobe.com/webpage/TE9A...

Data from Georgia Policy Labs metro-Atlanta parent surveys—Hits me in the gut how many kids witnessed death and how hard parents were trying to help kids. I can’t wait to see what we find when we combine these with the administrative student data & evictions data. gpl.gsu.edu/maple/studen...

We had lots of 😟 when we found out El Progreso wasn’t opening on time today, but we rallied. This Atlanta kid knew what he was missing.

FYI: the Economic Research Service is hiring a research economist to work on food prices and markets. It’s in my branch and it’s a great opportunity! Learn more & apply at: usajobs.gov/job/751127300.

Woohoo for kids eating! Here here for measures of poverty that serve families without burdening them. As someone who got $1+ billion out to kids during pandemic EBT and only served in that role due to lack of data integration, I can say there is plenty of room for growth here.

Any recs for great live music spots in New Orleans? For unknown reasons, I’ve never been and am finally going sans l’enfant.

Hi! I’m focused on programs and policies that support people’s dignity. I build teams, broker partnerships and resources, and mentor researchers to make their work actionable. I’m the founder and currently lead the Georgia Policy Labs at GSU.
